A Great Mayan Adventure!
Brilliant day out, there was only five of us in the group so it was more like a private tour. Getting to Chichen Itza early was great as we beat the crowds and it wasn't too hot. The cenote was stunning and Coba was a great contrast to Chichen and riding the bikes through the jungle was great fun. The guide we had was so informative and friendly, fully recommend this tour and this company.

Awesome trip into Mayan history
The tour was amazing. Franklin was a great driver and Manuel was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Mayan history and culture. I’ve been on a chitzen Itza tour before and this tour was so much better. We got to see chitzen Itza before the crowds and the heat set in. The cenote and lunch were great, we almost had the cenote to ourselves and Ek Balam was awesome, it felt like they closed the park just for us. Highly recommend worth the money, felt like a private tour.

Wonderful experience!
We booked the Chichen Itza early entry + Cenote + Coba tour. Our driver and guide were prompt for our 615am pickup and communication with them was very smooth as we coordinated the tour from start to finish. We throughly enjoyed the 3 activities and time was well managed for each one. We’ll have memories that will last a lifetime and we are thankful for our wonderful tour guide and driver for making that happen.

The guide and driver made this the very best experience!
The early morning was a smart option. Got there before the crowds and before it got too hot. Our driver, Rodrigo, was friendly, helpful and was a very good driver. Felt very safe while he was navigating. Our guide, Ezequiel, was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about every place we visited. We learned more about the history, culture and background of chichen itza, cenote hacienda chukum, and coba. We had a private tour, so they even ventured off course to show us a little extra! Appreciated their hospitality, and professionalism throughout!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba cost?
+
Prices start at $144 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Coba start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
